I don't have data but I believe that many are staying to prevent the looting of their homes or squatters - who seemingly have the law on their side in ultra left Calif. I remember many in Florida stayed in their homes when a hurricane was due. Signs were posted in many neighborhoods "looters will be shot". And Florida supports law and order and holding your ground! Calif. is flooded with illegal aliens, many of whom are criminals of the worst kind from their home countires. To leave is to say: "take what you want, no one will arrest you or impede you except the flames"
People react to disasters in different ways, and my heart goes out to all who have lost. Everyone has an opinion, but for me, and as Jew, life comes way before property! פיקוח נפש

Yosef, you have such a dim view of humanity! :)
The metaphoric fire to which you allude is not limited in geographic scope.
"That's why we're building the fireproof fortress I now call home," you reply.
"Your fortress is not fireproof," I say. "No fortress is."
Quit creating quotes in my name!🙂
Eloquent metaphor for aliyah.
And for why the indigenous Arabs of Palestine stay and won’t go away.
